I find the spaghetti in the background distracting. Some sharper reflection in the knife I think would help define it for what it is.

focus could be a little bit better and the "spaghetti" in the background is more of a distraction than a help I think, nice perspective though - I feel like I might cry!

The arrangement and composition is fine in this image but the softer focus loses fine detail that the eye would like to see and that acts as a visual distraction. Looks like the background is in sharper focus than the onion. Shooting at a higher f/stop would increase DOF and eliminate that problem.

On my monitor the onion seems too white/bright and not enough detail

This one would have been better if the spaghetti letters wheren't there but only black. But it is still a good one.

The spaghetti in the background sort of distracts abit. Nice photo. (My eyes almost stung.)

nice composition and detail. the white the onion is a little overpowering but that could be my panel

Good composition, in need of sharpening and different lighting...6

I have the impression the white in the onion is too much blown out. Or is it out of focus. I wonder what the actual result will be of your recipe...

Frame is overpowering, focus seems slightly off. Onion looks good.

I like the placement of the word in the background. I think the top right is a bit noisy, but this is a fine photograph, nonetheless.

good composition, the background is too dark..and it doesn't meet the challenge(actually it's a stretch on the theme)
good luck

This isn't a culinary challenge, so I won't speak about your diced onions. The composition is alright, but I would have thought having the other half onion a bit further away might be better. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with the picture, but something isn't work well and it throws me off quite a bit. Maybe it's because it looks like you've got a camera flash going on.
I must admit the frames should have been a lot thinner. It's too thick and it causes quite a lot of distraction to the whole image. So I threw you a 5.
